The HOP To.NIGHr.- The Rscep.
tlon aud Bali of the Gordon Light
Infantry, In honor Of. their removal to
their now and handsome armory
which takes place this evening in the
armosy, promises to be one Of the
nost successful entertainments ever
given iR WiHnsboro. The company
has gono to considerable expense In
fitting up their new armory, and in
supplying music for the Hop in honor
of tho occasion, and their only regret
is that thoy feel unable to furnish 70.
freshments on the occasion. The
iadies' dressing room has been neatly
carpeted, and everything which could
contribute to the pleasure and com.
tort Of the ladies has been done.
The friends Of the company will find
hearty welcome awaiting them on their
arrival at tho hall this evening. We
arc requested to state that all members
ofthe Company are expected to appear
in uniform on tho occasion. and to
wear It during tho evening. A grand
time is expected, and.it is our earnest
desire that no one will be disappointed.

justify the policy of the 'terrorists,'
nor to approve even by implication
the resort 10 murder as means of

natures plan could take place than to
decree perfect equality at the birth OF
humanity. All nature objects-and
while about it, objects in company
with civil statutes to that other anom-
ally, "equal before the law"
To prepare the young to start equal
in the three score and ten race of life,
should engross all the wisdom given
to men, When youth first are willing
and anxious to assume responsibility
and enter the lists on the course, then
differences should he evened up, and
none should be handicapped with
weights not properly belonging to
them. In the start for life is the time
aud place for clearing the track for an
equal race, so that each may run
with patience" aud not faint because
of Injustice, favoritism or fraud,
To be "born equal" is the desire of
nobody. To be permitted to start equal
would satisfy more properly the gen
eral demaud-and to this end, China
is in advance of all other parts of the
earth, whatever may be said to the
contrary by priests or politicians
Americans lose their senses when they
reckon upon the temporary equality
they have enjoyed, which is only the
result of their original general power
ty, and the open offering of rich,
untaxed continent. 1t required no
very great wisdom to permit the first
that came to be served first. But when
natures domains are all served out,
| how shall succeeding generations as.
sert their right to room, or even q
right to be at all? Setting up the
claim that all men are born equal
would be of little use unless backed
by dynsmite-and "tqual before the
law " would not vitiate deed signed
sealed, delivered aud recorded az cord.
ing to law.
Not usually in courts of law and
justice-but yells in the streets and on
the trains can overawe them. Equal.
ity before the law" can and has shed
oceans of blood. 1t has pillaged and
burned millions of lawful homes, and
will do it again. 1t is mob maxim,
yet will never cease to command con-
sideration. ~

Orange Groves in California,

In comparison 10 the extent of south
ern California, the localities suited to
the growth of the orange, lemon and
lime are very limited. L mean bv this
that the places where the orange can be
brought TO perfection, without coddling,
wrapping, etc, are few and limited N
extent; even on the far-famed Riverside
there are many groves on the lower
ground where they get an occasional
freeze, and where, III their young stage,
the trees have to be wrapped and cover
ed each winter, and in the valleys nearer
the coast Los Angeles, for instance,
they get so many fogs that the fruit is
more or less spotted with fungoid
growth which materially affects THEN
keeping qualities and sale, so that, really
speaking, there is only the mesa land,
near the interior foothills, where the
fruit is brought to its highest perfection,
and where, year by year, the grove
yields good income TO the grower
But given good location, planted to
a good budded fruit, there is no tree
planted that will yield such an income
as the orange. The planting is done
from February to June. Seeding plants
cost from 40 to 60 cents each: budded
trees from 75 cents to 81 each. They
are planted all the way from eighteen
feet apart to thirty feet, and the estimate
OF last seasons planting in the three
counties-viz: San Diego. San Bernar-
dino and Los Angeles, es,-was 1000 acres,
or nearly 100000 trees. and these are
